Hi, I'm Mel. I'm an online Integrative counsellor. I specialise in eating disorders and body image, and also domestic abuse and sexual violence. I also work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, low confidence and self-esteem and more. I work with a wide range of eating struggles so you don't need to have a label of an eating disorder.
I am neuro-affirmative and work with clients with autism, ADHD and other kinds of neurodivergence. I am LGBTQ+ friendly, weight-inclusive & trauma-informed.
Often people I work with have felt judged, shamed, stigmatized & unheard. I'm here to listen, understand and work with you collaboratively. I have lived experience of body image and self-esteem problems in the past. I feel this greatly benefits my practice, having been there myself.
I have also worked in domestic abuse and sexual violence services, with both survivors and perpetrators of abuse. I work with people who have experienced abuse in the past, or witnessed domestic abuse as children.
Check out my website for more information.
I offer a free 15-min initial chat. Please contact me via email or through my website contact form.
